I excluded Red Hat's enterprise offerings from consideration for this
question. From what I understand, they will not be as up-to-the-minute
as Red Hat's distros have been in the past, and are considerably more
expensive. Technically, yes, they have a commercial distro. But I doubt
very much it's something you'd want to purchase unless you've got a
large corporation and/or a large budget.
